I'm going to be spending tomorrow in London but as yet I'm undecided as to what I'm going to be doing, except for going to spitalfields in the evening.
So, any suggestions? The only restriction is money, I don't have much, so I'm not going shopping in Harrods or anything like that.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

I could spend a week in the natural history and science museums! Go to the basement in the science museum and play with the Kids hands on stuff...GREAT!
And it's all free.
Or The Tate Modern is free I think, but I've never been.
You can go to talk to the nice people at Odd Balls Camdon if you like - but I alway buy something so maybe thats not a good idea!
Have fun whatever

Heh, I was wondering how quickly the natural history and science museums would get mentioned
That's one of the options I was considering, along with wandering around the touristy bits that I've not been to for ages and taking some photos.
I'm certainly not going to oddballs though - I always end up spending far more money there than I can afford
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Oh and then go to the place with all the pigeons and run through them all! Woooo

I'd go along to the Hunterian Museum again. it's attached onto the Royal Colleage of Surgeouns, and filled to the brim with specimens of pickliked things in jars.
Either I'm freaky, or I have a calling in life to preserve things in formaldehyde
Oh, yeah, it's free!

I'm pretty sure Bovril doesn't run. Will ambling mildly through the pigeons work just as well?What place with all the pigeons? Surely if he's in Trafalgar Square, looking at the disabled woman's statue then he's in the right place for pigeons? Or did you know of another pigeon infested place that would be better?
Meh

if it's a nice day go hang about in the parks near the palace and people watch
if it's not so nice a day find a museum or five
